Sister Claus

Several weeks ago, Bridget { a.k.a. "Baby Sister" ~ the only sibling I have} ran across a picture online of something she "just has to have!". So the next time she was at my house she brought it up, printed it off and begged me to recreate one for her for Christmas.

Mind you, there was no pattern to work with but once you've crocheted a

rose

it's like riding a bike.

You just do it and do it and do it.

Being nearly 10 years older than Bridget, I am prone to spoiling her.

At least when it's within my power to do so.

And

THIS

I could do.

After all ~

What is

SISTER CLAUS

for, if not spinning regular wool into

blooming roses

for a

much loved sister?

I hope she likes the way it turned out.

It was so much fun to make.

Merry Christmas Bridget!

{Thankfully she is elbow deep from dawn to dusk right now in cake batter, frosting & sprinkles, as she fills orders for her Cupcake business. Hopefully she doesn't have time to peek at Big Sisters Blog!}
